Protocol
Glutathione (600mg Vial)
Complete dosage protocol and reconstitution guide for Glutathione (600mg Vial).
Calculator preset
Run the vial math before tracking.
At 200 mg/mL, units = mg ÷ 2: 100 mg = 50 units (0.50 mL) and 200 mg = 100 units (1.0 mL) on a U-100 syringe.

Quickstart Highlights
Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide composed of glutamine, cysteine, and glycine that serves as the body’s master antioxidant [1] . High‑purity reduced L‑glutathione (≥99%) is supplied in 600 mg vials for research on oxidative stress reduction, detoxification support, and cellular protection [2] [3] . This educational protocol presents a subcutaneous (SC) injection approach using moderate weekly dosing with clear reconstitution guidance.
02 · Dosing & reconstitution
Dosing & Reconstitution Guide
A practical calculator-ready setup based on the imported protocol reference. Use these values as a math starting point, then verify every entry against your own vial, diluent, and professional guidance.
Standard / Gradual Approach (3 mL = 200 mg/mL)
100–200 mg per injection, 2–3 times weekly (300–600 mg/week total).
Reconstitution Steps
- Draw 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.
- Inject slowly down the vial wall to minimize foaming; glutathione solutions should remain clear to pale yellow.
- Gently swirl or roll until fully dissolved (do not shake vigorously).
- Label with reconstitution date and refrigerate immediately at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F) , protected from light [6] .
- Do not freeze the reconstituted solution; freezing may cause precipitation [7] .

Keep this as a planning checklist. TNHL does not sell or verify supplies on this page, and no supplier quality claims are made here.
- 12 weeks ≈ 12 vials (7,200 mg total)
- 16 weeks ≈ 16 vials (9,600 mg total)
- 8 weeks: 24 syringes
- 12 weeks: 36 syringes
- 16 weeks: 48 syringes
- 8 weeks (8 vials): 24 mL → 1 × 30 mL bottle
- 12 weeks (12 vials): 36 mL → 2 × 30 mL bottles
- 16 weeks (16 vials): 48 mL → 2 × 30 mL bottles
- Per week: 6 swabs (2
- per injection × 3/week)
- 8 weeks: 48 swabs → recommend 1 × 100‑count box
- 12 weeks: 72 swabs → recommend 1 × 100‑count box
Protocol Overview
- Goal: Support systemic antioxidant defenses and cellular glutathione levels for oxidative stress reduction [8] .
- Schedule: Subcutaneous injections 2–3 times weekly for 8–12 weeks (extend to 16 weeks if desired).
- Dose Range: 100–200 mg per injection (typical 300–600 mg/week total).
- Reconstitution: 3.0 mL per 600 mg vial (200 mg/mL) for convenient unit measurements.
- Storage: Lyophilized frozen; reconstituted refrigerated; avoid freeze–thaw cycles and light exposure.
Dosing Protocol
- Suggested titration and frequency approach.
- Start: 100 mg SC, 3 times weekly (Weeks 1–2) for initial tolerance assessment.
- Maintenance: 200 mg SC, 3 times weekly (Weeks 3–12) for 600 mg/week total.
- Frequency: Monday/Wednesday/Friday (or similar spacing) to maintain stable levels.
- Cycle Length: 8–12 weeks standard; optional extension to 16 weeks with ongoing monitoring.
- Site Rotation: Rotate injection sites systematically (abdomen, thighs, upper arms).
Storage Instructions
- Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F) ; after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F) ; do not freeze reconstituted solution.
- Storage: Lyophilized frozen; reconstituted refrigerated; avoid freeze–thaw cycles and light exposure.
- Keep mixed and unmixed items clearly labeled so inventory and dose logs stay accurate.
04 · Good to know
Important Notes
- Practical considerations for consistency and safety.
- Use new sterile insulin syringes (29–31 gauge recommended) for each injection; dispose in a sharps container.
- Rotate injection sites (lower abdomen at least 5 cm from navel, outer thighs, back of upper arms) to reduce local irritation [12] .
- Clean injection site and vial stopper with alcohol swab; allow to dry completely before injection.
- Inject slowly and steadily; glutathione is well tolerated subcutaneously with minimal discomfort [4] .
- Document injection dates, sites, and any observations to maintain protocol consistency.
- Discard any reconstituted solution showing discoloration or cloudiness; glutathione should remain clear to pale yellow [13] .

The library page pairs that educational context with calculator-ready vial math, so users can understand the protocol structure and then track their own entered values in one place.
06 · Daily habits
Lifestyle Factors
- Keep meals, training, sleep, and recovery notes in the journal so trends are easier to review.
- Track body metrics only if they are relevant to the user's goal and approved data sources.
- Use consistent timing and logging habits so adherence data is meaningful.
07 · What to expect
Potential Benefits & Side Effects
- Glutathione observations should be recorded conservatively: expected research endpoints, tolerability notes, injection-site reactions when applicable, sleep, appetite, energy, mood, and any adverse or unusual response.
- This section is not a claim of therapeutic benefit.
08 · Technique
Injection Technique
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Wipe the vial stopper and chosen site with alcohol, then let both dry.
- Confirm the vial concentration, calculator result, and intended draw amount before loading the syringe.
- Use the route and needle technique directed by a qualified professional or product instructions.
- For subcutaneous injections, rotate sites and inject slowly to limit leakage and irritation.
- Do not reuse needles or syringes.
- Dispose of sharps in a puncture-resistant container.
- Return stored items promptly to the correct temperature.
- Log dose, site, date, time, inventory change, and any observation.
